This game has 100 thousand lines of code.
>>109979194let me guess, a significant portion of that is just code defining the bitmaps for the graphics
>>109979202No, because those are not code.
>>109979194so what?
>>109979202yeah, lel. and every procedure has a header comment of a least ten lines.
>>109979194the beauty of C++
90's gamedev at its finest
>>109979297Yes, too bad you need 32GB of RAM and 8GB VRAM for the same game now. Slay sis!
>>10997930790's gamedev greatest ally: ctrl+v>muh 100kloc
>>109979334Yet it ran in 64Mb of RAM. Amazing.
>>109979297>>109979334CS undergrads really believe copy and pasting code is bad
>>109979297Soul
>>109979344It's not even copy pasted the code is slightly different looping through 3 different arrays.
>>109979340>Yet it ran in 64Mb of RAM. Amazing.I was running the win95 version of Red Alert 1 on 32mb RAM.
>>109979373please leave the code to the llm from now.
>>109979297Explain, rationally, why this is bad.
>>109979403not gonna educate you for free.
>>109979407>being this devoid of any thoughtsI wonder if you're like this for genetic reasons or if it's just image board brain rot getting terminal.
>>109979297The dev forgot to say "no mistakes or retarded shit".
>>109979297>>109979334Literally nothing wrong with this.
>>1099794031. you'll have to apply the same change to each block any time there's a change2. it's easier to miss bugs the more code there is3. a small helper function would be trivial to addHonestly don't know why the fuck anyone would do it the way they did. Maybe you can explain
I'm sure Uncle Bob would be proud of that code. Stupid classes for the tiniest things. Everything neatly atomized.
>>109979403DRY
>>109979456>1. you'll have to apply the same change to each block any time there's a changeNah, at that point it would be easier to delete the whole section and implement it differently.>2. it's easier to miss bugs the more code there isIt's effectively 3 lines of code.>3. a small helper function would be trivialWhat kind of retard makes a helper function for 3 lines of code that only make sense in one context? If anything, you'd put the constants inside arrays and do a loop.
>>109979391You sound like the kind of asshole that would rewrite this with lambdas (or if it's a C project, fucking macro loops because that's the only way to do that without casting around void * "closures" (I seriously hope you don't do this.))It's very clear what they're doing. I wouldn't change it.
>>109979488>mindless rule followingNow that's the kind of answer I like to hear when I say "explain rationally". Sir, I'm firing the LLM and hiring you!
>>109979507it's not mindlessif you fuck up something in your ctrl+ving it will introduce a subtle bugif you want to change something you will need to edit it in 10 different places
>>109979514>if you fuck up something in your ctrl+ving it will introduce a subtle bugIf you fuck something up in whatever alternative you propose, it will also introduce a bug. I don't see any real way to fuck this up if you know how to use an editor.
>>109979220Have you ever seen 100 thousand lines of code? It's a lot.
>>109979307I tried Trackmania 2020 recently. It needs 4GB for the actual game plus another 6GB for the two CEF based launchers (yes you need Steam to play it because Ubisoft can't figure out how to distribute things themselves.)Effectively the same game written by (nominally) the same people ran on the Nintendo DS ten years ago with 4mb of RAM of a 14mb ROM cartridge.
back then, most code bases in video gaming were written once by underpaid amateurs, rushed without much care to meet the deadlines, then threw away to never be looked at again. the worst of the worst. some devs deleted the source code purposefully so we will never know how bad it was.
>>109979543>back then, most code bases in video gaming were written once by underpaid amateursno they were written by professionals
>>109979550xDDDDDDDD k bro. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GbpJvU3Hdq8
>>109979568fucking retard
>>109979543>threw away to never be looked at again>deleted the source code purposefully so we will never know how bad it was.This is the objectively correct way to code. >muh reusability>muh game engines>muh designPure NPC thinking.
>>109979403Not for the time, strongest inlining/unrolled loop hint. A macro would still look cleaner.
>>109979599>C macro>clean
>>109979613Did keyword "inline" exist at the time?
>>109979194...which went on to establish a critically acclaimed legacy loved by millions.Your point?
>>10997957790's gamedev is filled with horror stories. the 100 hours club in game coding complete, for example. or the "kitchen dorm"
>>109979685the average 90s gamedev was more skilled in their craft than the average gamedev nowt. guy who was a gamedev in the 90s
>>109979695ok boomer. keep your bullshit for others. we all remember the meltdown and rage-quitting of 90's devs when multi threading became a thing in video gaming. we remember gabe newell lamenting about the ps3's cell microprocessor.
>>109979730>we all remember the meltdown and rage-quitting of 90's devs when multi threading became a thing in video gamingyou just made this up
>>109979695>the average 90s gamedev was more skilled in their craft than the average gamedev nowsaaar you got filtered by unity>>109979730you show that madarchod. yes, we remember how the game dev all quit because they can't multithread
>>109979745I've never used Unity
>>109979758because it's too advance for you saaar, you can't into real game engine
>>109979763Because I knew how to write game engines before Unity even came out
>>109979776saar you could not have implement minecraft in the 90 because you didn't have engine with the multithread
>>109979819I think the original Minecraft wasn't multithreaded

>>109979893>nothing resembling a rational reply/g/ is just an infinite loop of lizard brain "programmers" trying to dunk on their superiors and failing.
This is the game that got me most interested in programming when I was a youngin
>>109979194Let's see your game.
